recently fallen into my hands the "One More Day" Spider-Man (UDM) , and the truth is that for a long time since I felt so cheated. I know it is difficult to believe that a simple comic book you cheat, but when you consider I've been following the library the last six or seven years, buying it month after month, I think you can understand. I do not like espoilers of works, but I think I have gone and in Castilian, English was made the band in January and the plot and be known by people who are interested in the wall-crawler comics, is not no spoilers about the plot. If not, then you'll notice some tracks in the plot.
Well then, as I said, after several years following the adventures of Peter Parker, living with his separation from MJ, he was kidnapped as he got older and wanted a curro more appropriate to their age, as his aunt discovered her secret, etc ... And several stories about his past, such as "sins of the past," now is that we go back. Peter makes a pact with the devil and it has never been married to MJ. And as if that was not enough resurrected Harry Osborn takes longer!
At that one does not know how to react, at least I have not known. So the first thing I did was access the Internet and learn more about the topic and what were the "explanations" that arose from Marvel. What I found was "scrotumtightening."
If my first reaction was to curse JM. Straczynski, it turns out that I was wrong. The writer of recent years, for good and bad, had nothing to do with the great shit that is UDM. The genius of the invention has been Quesada, editor in chief of Marvel. Apparently Quesada has long been an enemy of Spiderman married, of course being the boss has not stopped to achieve their purpose. A little Straczynski liked the idea so I did not want to sign the script for the last two chapters of the story, but ultimately agreed to do so as not to damage the image of Quesada and Marvel. Quesada for his part was so clear what he wanted he himself has drawn. Needless to say that since the House of Ideas, as known to the direction of Marvel are all praise for him they have done. It appears that when the boss announces that pigs fly in Marvel's answer is: "How high flying sir?"
reasons also have been raised from Mavel for so bizarre twist are ridiculous. First Spiderman say divorce can be a trauma for the children who read Spiderman, who becomes a superhero as he can divorce, you might think the guys that!. Instead, and to avoid divorce, have no qualms to make a pact with the devil to save his aunt at the expense of losing their marriage. Or is it that these same kids who can traumatize the divorce? not going to impact their hero go to hell? One of the things I love about this comic is not left aside thorny issues, arms trafficking is portrayed in a great story in issue 71 of "Spectacular Spider-Man", which can be seen on the cover a child playing with a gun, or number 248, "Amazing Spiderman", titled "The boy who collected Spiderman", which addresses the issue of terminal cancer who has the biggest fan of Spiderman. Think that readers will "traumatize" a divorce is treating us as stupid.
addition in all the stories that are making a pact with the devil ALL I say always makes the deal ends up losing. Faust starting it the same Ghost Rider Marvel. Remember the case of the comic book character of the same company. John Blaze sells his soul to the devil for a miracle cure for his adoptive father (in the film was his father) was cured of a rare disease. Mephisto makes a miracle cure only to die in an accident soon after. That same Mephisto did not meet the deal with Ghost Rider going to meet, and also instead of asking the soul, asks "the love of his life." A relationship that has not been, so to speak, perfect. Since when Mephisto complies with "love" of a person.
addition, if not worse, not limited to "remove" the marriage. To cover himself mysterious MJ says the devil in his ear and tell us the couple's missing daughter. Which is believed to be dead and that has led to the series Spidergirl. Now the series will not be a "What if ..." but a "What What if ..." to put it. Reading
Quesada's own statements, indicated that they can think Spiderman singles new and better stories. Given this I think, why are not these stories occurred when I was separated from MJ and we would have avoided some atrocious moments like when shared floor? Going back to what I said before: We can make them fly to the moon, sir!
Another thing that is unforgivable is the return of Harry Osborn. Whoever said that did not die in comics no one has more reason than a saint. How are we going to believe that Captain America is dead? Just because what Quesada said? And do not forget the issue of continuity. Or is it that these two characters are not affected at all in the Spider stories? Ie "Do you want to fly to match 4 or 5, Sr.?
Well, the good part, or the consolation of fools, is I'm not the only one disappointed by the new line drawn to the adventures of Spider. Nor am which has affected most. Searching youtube you can find videos of fans burning comic question. In Spiderman.org did a survey where people voted in 4392 with the following results:
Yes No 22% 77% ... Peter singles best stories involve?
24% 75% ... Peter singles draw new readers?
25% 74% ... It was a good way to re-hide the identity of Spiderman?
15% 84% ... UDM has been least well-told and believable?
82% 17% ... An awkward editorial decision?
59% 40% ... Fans of "long term" stop buying?
75% 24% ... Peter lost potential as a fugitive?
79% 20% ... Too soon for a big change after the Civil War?
73% 26% ... The pressure of the fans will back as the saga of the clones?
As I said before, it fools the consolation of knowing that you are not the only one who thinks so, but seeing that my views are echoed by most of those who responded to the survey makes you see that either do not go so misguided or many of us fools.
I sincerely believe that you have taken a very important part to Spiderman, and that without it there is Spiderman. We are all the sum of our actions, the right and wrong. As shown in the same comic is "different" Peter Parker, none of which are seen are Spiderman. Something similar happens to me with the "new" Spiderman. Not the same I've been collecting in recent years, so I think it is a good place to put a full stop, or party. I do not want to contribute to the maintenance of a series in which I do not think. For me Spiderman has ended with "one more day."
Well, finish, finish is not. I think the same as Peter Sanderson, critic and collector of comics. His is the following sentence about UDM:
"Right now I expect There Are People Who Are professional comics writers and editors, and people will someday Become Who comics professional writers and editors, Who Are Outraged That Had Marvel Spider-Man make a deal with the devil. And These present and future writers and editors will Be Determined to undo it. We shall see whether it Takes twenty years this time, or much less. "
" Right now I am confident that there are people who are writers and publishers of comics and people who will one day be comics writers and editors, who are angry Marvel by the pact with the devil that made him make Spiderman. And these current and future writers and editors are strongly willing to undo it. We have to see whether we need twenty years this time, much less "
